Writer of fantasy with romance at it's heart. ...more

Hello,

Champion of A'dara is out now! Available in paperback or eBook versions on Amazon. A couple of days earlier than expected, but I'm super excited to finally get this out into the world.
It's a very character driven fantasy with romance at the core - just something light to read and escape with.

Enjoyed this one, had a hint of Pratchett and Douglas Adams with the humour, but overall a fun adventure and who doesn't love an angry talking badger! A great book full of wonderful characters in a new magical setting. More please. ...more

J.S. Hyder liked Macavity's review of Heart of A'dara (A'dara, #2): "I really enjoyed the second book in this series. It was well-paced, and the twist at the end was unexpected but clever. "
